Overview
The IntelliProp IPC-SS105A-HI SAS Initiator Core is an industry standard Serial-SCSI (SAS) initiator core that enables host designs to connect to high throughput SAS storage devices at 3.0, 6.0 and 12.0 Gbps. The protocol interface is compliant to the SAS specification as defined by the ANSI T10 Organization. As with all IntelliProp cores, the IPC-SS105A-HI core is fully verified in psuedo-random simulation.
Key features
- Fully compliant to the SAS 3.0, 6.0 and 12.0 Gb/s industry specifications
- Processor specific interfaces for register access
- Supports either SerDes, PIPE, or SAPIS interface
- Synchronous design for easy integration
- Configurable memories for performance and area trade-offs
- Supports OOB and speed negotiation sequences
- Auto open connections and close connections
- Auto Credit management
- Auto ACK/NAK transmission
Applications
- Internal interconnect for workstation and server storage
- Enterprise storage interconnect
- HDD /SSD hot-swap environments
- SAS Emulator/test boxes
